WHO WE ARE

Our Team

Our clients tell us they notice an immediate difference once they start working with us. They’ve been underwhelmed by consultants in the past and are surprised at how different we really are. 

The reason? Like most firms, we hire consultants with nonprofit experience—ours average 15 years—and then we go a step beyond.

Our consultants embody six core values; we call them absolutes.

Take a look at our bios below and you’ll find former vice presidents of advancement, directors of development, major gifts officers, and nonprofit executives. More importantly, you’ll see a team that’s dedicated to doing the right things the right way and rolling up their sleeves to become an added member of your team.

Hire the Winkler Group and you’ll work with a firm that brings their collective wisdom to your project, and with consultants who are constantly growing their knowledge of fundraising’s leading practices. 

You’ll be led by consultants who deliver what they promise. You’ll hear us say, “We’ve got you,” and you’ll know you’re in very capable hands.
